I'm defiantly picking this up , looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.

It does indeed look like a lot of fun. Too bad some people need to nitpick stuff to death instead of perhaps looking at a game that looks to be fun. The MP stuff seems to have potential.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

This looks amazing.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Any news on a Photo Mode??

[Blimblim]

BlimBlim, care to comment?

The b-roll footage I integrated in the interview looked 100% like the PS4 version I played 2 weeks ago. I didn't watch the multiplayer video so I can't comment on that one.

 

[flaxknuckles]

So the PC version has DS4 prompts, brah?

It's possible. Ass Creed IV on PC has dualshock 4 prompts in multiplayer (and native drivers if I remember correctly).

Sounds like another melting PS4 situation.

You're not seeing the PS4 version in any video today. You're seeing PC footage. I played the game earlier this month on PS4 - the footage you're seeing today is from a high-end PC. http://www.slashgear.com/watch-dogs-gameplay-first-impressions-hands-on-eyes-off-23326250/

If this is true, thats just embarrassing because those visuals aren't special at all. They are very average. In fact, sleeping dogs on pc looks significantly better and here i was about to compliment this game. I was actually thinking about purchasing it when it reached the ~$30 mark.

You're just assuming that , though. Especially since your article claims it was made using the highest of high spec PC's...

 

[BigEvilTurtle]

Have the recommended/minimum/ideal PC specs been announced?

 

[Interfectum]

No... the reality is we are getting PS4 footage today, not that the PC version has DS4 prompts.

 

[BurnsyDelight]

From what our PR guy told us, and he's the rare trustworthy kind, The Nexus 7 "incident" was isolated to a few journos from the UK, no one else got anything besides the usual t-shirt.

I didn't even get a t-shirt. What a ripoff! lol

 

[Sojgat]

If you look at the second video in the OP and watch around 3:20 you can see that Aiden seems to hack the car rather than it just sitting around unlocked. You see the turn signals flash and the car make a sound, he has his phone in his left hand the entire time.

Thanks, I didn't catch that, but it makes sense though.

Thanks, I'll believe you over the other guy. The article linked seemed to have an odd axe to grind for some reason.

 

[kriskrosbbk]

Is it just me or do the guns sounds really bad? My coworker compared them to PvZ pea shooter noises.

This is what I also noticed.Thought its the footage somehow.

 

[Horp]

Looks decent. If the coop and invasion mechanics are solid I might pick it up.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Still looks as boring as hell to me.

BS you can clearly see the cross or square prompt ...

 

[TheMan]

Looks like people are getting positive impressions. Can't watch the vids myself till i get home, but I'm hopeful about the game again....been hungry for ps4 games for a while.

 

[Dead]

So poker is confirmed according to the ubi blog

Also mini games where you kill aliens or obstacle course where you avoid skulls. This is different from the digital trip stuff.

 

[Vlodril]

In multiplayer are all the modes arena based or is there also an open world to play with friends like red dead or gta?

 

[Trace]

Looks good to me, happy I got it for $30 on that Indian Origin sale. Probably my most-looked forward to game of May.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Day. Fucking. One.

 

[ezekial45]

No, it's in the open world.

 

[Stitch]

framerate in the eurogamer video is pretty crappy

 

[Faith]

I don't see any downgrade, looks gorgeous.

 

[BurnsyDelight]

I played the PS4 version last week. This doesn't look like that - it doesn't even look close.

 

[Phreakuency]

Geez could they add any more UI on the screen?

Such a great looking game covered by UI in every corner, popping up in the middle of the screen, score notification pop ups, enemies with a highlight/glow around them... ugh.

 

[Lime]

lol everyone looks like Adan. That's a pretty good (non-intentional) meta-commentary on video game protagonists.

 

[flaxknuckles]

Oh shit you can kill civilians. I was thinking they might do some Ass Creed desynchronization bullcrap. It takes down your reputation points, but idgaf

 

[ViciousDS]

wait, me and my little brother can troll around chicago together...........DAY ONE!

There is a frame rate drop in this part of the video, so I’m not sure about that.

 

[R_Deckard]

Did they get rid of the bokeh dof?

no, still present and very correct!

 

[Always-honest]

I played the PS4 version last week. This doesn't look like that - it doesn't even look close.

I doubt this for some reason.
The last part sounds like a ridiculous hyperbole. But i could be wrong

 

[mangochutney]

Looks good.

Need to tame that Forza sun though.

 

[nelsonroyale]

I played the PS4 version last week. This doesn't look like that - it doesn't even look close.

I find that hard to believe. The footage looks nice, but not that impressive. In fact it looks like previous footage confirmed to be on PS4.

 

[R_Deckard]

No its not, that footage is PS4 at 0.28 you can see the Square logo for Hacking!!

here

and here

Why lie?!!

 

[jbttwin]

Color me excited again. Day 1.

 

[viveks86]

Holy shit at the Gamersyde footage! Looks really good!

 

[anddo0]

The Eurogamer preview has me wary. It sounds like Ubi shoehorned a lot of features into the game.. Quality over quantity.

 

[cackhyena]

Do you have any way to prove this? Funny how no one else is claiming it.

The Eurogamer preview has me wary. It sounds like Ubi shoehorned a lot of features into the game.. Quality over quantity.

But then how else would it be recognized as a Ubi game if they didn't?

 

[hawk2025]

...yeah, Blim says it looks the same and he actually deals with super high-quality, precise video, and usually knows exactly what he's talking about.


I'm going to go ahead and believe the other guy until we hear otherwise.

 

[thatJohann]

Uh-oh

 

[matmanx1]

Looks fun and pretty much like what I expected. Hopefully this is PS4 footage or the PS4 version looks pretty much like what they are showing.

 

[hawk2025]

Uh-oh

hhmmmm...

Well, it had zero chance of getting even close to Infamous, but still...

 

[DJSebolski]

Looks like FPS dips below 30

 

[TheCloser]

Uh-oh

Well there you have it folks. Ubisoft, delivering last gen graphics on a next gen console. Embarrassing especially for a cross-gen game.

 

[cripterion]

Yeah, they confirmed that all cars have a cockpit view that you can drive in.

Oh that's nice, didn't expect this.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Uh-oh

Eh gameplay still looks good but that's disappointing.

 

[spannicus]

Should have been current gen only
